Sometimes I wonder

Sometimes when I walk into a room it feels like someone was just there,
it’s like their departure echoes the room.
 
I wonder if houses ever miss their dwellers.

Sometimes when I trek across track,
I can see the weeds of an old plant,
like the arms of a child reaching out to a long lost parent.

I wonder if paths ever feel guilty for being made. 

Sometimes when I see a deflated ball,
it looks like the hope was sucked out of it.

I wonder if the air that was in the ball is enjoying its freedom.

    I’m walking tomorrow

    For my mother who never even got to high school
    Who frowns whenever I’ve put my schoolwork over cleaning my room

    Because I will go half hungry so they can eat the other part of my sandwich,

    The simmering heat of anger that a sibling can make you burn with can be quite questionable,
